I need help with a 3d model

[ubebe]

I have a client that wants a 3d character model that you can change the shape and size from drop down menus. About 5,000 different combinations. I can pay at $5,000 to someone who can help me with this. I am posting this on NG because there is a lot of talent here and I think most of us can use some extra cash. Please respond with any questions and links to previous work.

What language, engine etc. are you using?

For 5,000 I'll learn :D

Well it wouldnt be a model, it would be a program that loads a model. What your talking about reminds me of the SDK model viewer for source engine games.

Sorry I don't understand what you are saying. But if you can do it let me know.

Referring to your ambiguous usage of 'model'. The model is the thing you make in a 3d program and it doesn't change shape and color on its own.
You should describe the program you need better. Five thousand is a big sum worth months of work. (Not that we'll let you go down now.)

That would be the mesh, no?

do you have the rendered frames, and need something display them? or do you need the... for lack of better words, "character", to render out?

and of course, which program?

The difference between the model and program, not mesh.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. But, yes maybe you are right program to change a model. I need the model done too. Something like myvirtualmodel.com

Ah, yes this is a very simple problem. I'll tell you how to do it for free even. All you need to do is create an algorithm that will morph a simple mesh to the specified preameters. I can offer some pseudo-code.

Get mesh data

Calculate the parameters

     switch
          case 2:
               Morph to 2
          case 2:
                Morph to 2
           ...
          case 5000:
                 Morph to 5000

Fairly simple, just repeat that for all the situation, also adding in some inline assembly would help increase the speed. It is pretty slow, but it will work.
